I've herd this before,,
Like Storm said lots of ppL orderd the 4.5 gal tank seat for the peanut tank bikes,,,they get a little space.
I would not re drill the rear bolt area,,that will pull the front tang back
Possibly to the point It could come out on a nasty bump.
My seat Is In full contact with the tank,,no paint rub off yet,,been over a year.
Pics show my 4.5 gal tank an stang:::::
The Mustang company will swap you if you so choose,,,
FYI the seat does "Break In" but only a little change.
The way I noticed mine was broken in was only when I sat on a freinds bran spankin new one.

Yea my *** is much happier too.
I purchased a Mustang Solo (12.5 wide) at the end of last riding season and didnt get a chance to test it out till recently. What a difference! I have gone through so many seats and I should have taken people's advice from the start and bought the Mustang. Now I can ride and not even think about my butt.

Although mine is on a 4.5 gal tank I can't imagine that is right. Like Osco I added the fender bib, it is worth the bucks.

I wish I had known this beforehand. This could've probably made the difference.
